Product Description
The Steelite Nyx round tray is a rimless, stackable serving piece made from alumina vitrified ceramic in a deep, consistent black finish. At 165mm in diameter, it sits comfortably as a small plate, amuse-bouche board, or individual starter tray, and is sold in boxes of twelve to suit professional purchasing quantities.
In a working kitchen, the black field does a specific job: it sharpens the visual contrast of plated food, making colours read more clearly under service lighting. This is a deliberate presentational choice rather than a decorative one, and it tends to work particularly well with pale, vibrant, or textured preparations where contrast matters. The rimless profile gives the chef the full surface area to work with, which is useful when plating small, composed dishes where every millimetre counts.
The alumina vitrified ceramic construction is hard-wearing under regular commercial use — robust enough to handle the cycle of service, clearing, and washing that any busy restaurant puts tableware through. The stacking design keeps storage compact and reduces breakage risk during handling.
- Rimless surface maximises usable plating area for precise presentation
- Deep black finish heightens colour contrast of plated ingredients
- Stackable design supports compact storage in busy back-of-house environments
- Sold in boxes of twelve, suited to professional stock quantities
This tray is well suited to contemporary fine dining, tasting menus, and any operation where visual presentation is a deliberate part of the guest experience. It is a smaller piece, so it suits individual portions and pre-service mise en place rather than shared or family-style service.
If you are building out a full tableware range or want to discuss which pieces from the Nyx collection work well together in a particular service format, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Alumina vitrified ceramic is designed to withstand the temperature and chemical cycles of commercial dishwashers, making it a practical choice for high-turnover operations. That said, we would recommend confirming suitability with your dishwasher supplier if you are running particularly aggressive wash programmes.
- For a small tasting menu operation covering twenty to thirty covers, two to three boxes of twelve would generally provide adequate working stock with enough rotation for washing between courses. Higher-volume operations or those running multiple sittings would benefit from holding greater quantities to avoid bottlenecks during service.
- Steelite's alumina vitrified ceramic is a food-safe material appropriate for direct contact with all standard food types, including acidic preparations. The glaze is fired to a high standard consistent with professional tableware use, so no special precautions are required beyond normal cleaning practice.
